Which types of expense line items are supported?

• A. Flat rate, mileage-based, percentage-based, and accessorial pay items
• B. Flat rate only
• C. Mileage-based only
• D. Percentage-based only

Answer: (A)

Expense line items in AscendTMS can be configured in several ways to reflect different cost structures. A flat rate is a fixed amount charged regardless of distance or other factors. Mileage-based charges depend on the miles traveled, so they scale with distance. Percentage-based charges apply a percentage to a base amount, such as the base freight charge. Accessorial pay items are extra charges for services beyond the core freight, like liftgate, residential pickup/delivery, or fuel surcharges. Because the system supports all of these formats, the full set of supported expense line items includes flat rate, mileage-based, percentage-based, and accessorial pay items. The other options are incomplete because they cover only one type.
